FV-1 Wiring Diagram

But a real Flying V should have two volume and one tone pot. If you can take some pictures of the wiring components we can see what you've got. The kit picture seems to show just one capacitor in the kit. It could be a descriptive error in the kit explanation.

I've already got it assembled, but can tell you that it did come with two caps and I've wired it as two tone knobs. That said, I'm probably going to have to pull it apart again as I seem to have a bit of a buzz/hum which may be some sort of grounding issue. Weird thing is that I don't have it all the time. I get it all the time when using the bridge pickup, but if I flick the switch to both pickups, and turn the tone pot to minimum treble, the hum goes away - but it comes back if I adjust the tone pot with more treble. It's a strange one. Possibly grounding issue on one of the tone pots but I'm guessing. I don't believe I have a ground loop but I'm going to have to draw out my wiring because I can't remember exactly how I did it. I've definitely got grounding from the bridge to the jack, so it's something else.

Here's a photo I took just before I finished putting it all together, but it doesn't show the kind of detail you're after.
